Natural & Homemade Toothpaste

Why is it so important to make your own toothpaste? Because commercial toothpaste often contains fluoride, artificial sweeteners and a lot more toxins. The dangers of fluoride toothpaste are:

tooth discolouration

tooth decay

Alzheimer’s

bone damage

nervous system damage

cancer

Making your own toothpaste is also more eco friendly because you can’t recycle the packaging from the commercial toothpaste. You can buy the ingredients in reusable or recycable packaging or you can buy in bulk so it lasts you a long time.

Tip: bamboo toothbrushes are a green and eco friendly alternative to plastic toothbrushes. It’s better for your own health and the planet! Why is it better to choose bamboo?

plastic toothbrushes take hundreds of years to decompose, while a bamboo toothbrush is compostable and will disappear within 6 months
